A graphical PolicyKit dialog that asks for the root password? Interesting. I didn't run X as root either. What I remember is that I opened xterm for "su -" and then used "parted" to change the partition table on /dev/sda. I started with deleting partitions 6 and 7 so I could merge them into one. After a reboot, I used fdisk to fix the partition numbering. At either one of those steps, some component (possibly gnome-volume-manager) went wild and mounted the renumbered partitions on /media/* and created desktop icons. Could it be that while I was root something passed on the permissions without asking for the password? -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
